Janet Jackson - New Agenda Lyrics
Chuck ds intro:It aint nothin but an us thangAnd its time for us to step it up and respectThat level of sisterhoodThats been holding up our neighborhoodAnd if it wasnt for our mothersThere would be no brothersAnd if it wasnt for our sistersThere would be no mistersSo it aint nothin but a us thangShes strong and thats a factNow its time for us to take up the slackStep it up, step it up, time to go to workHistory hidden from meTo hide my identitySo Id never feelI am somebodyYouve gouged my eyesI see more clearlyYouve tried to robMy humanityMy spirit you tried to breakMy soul you tried to takeTheres no need to be afraidCause I wont do unto you nowChorus:AmenAll that weve been throughOur time has come to rejoiceA new agendas dueAmenIts time to know the truthOur time has come to rejoiceA new agendas due(no no)Because of my gender(no)Ive heard no too many timesBecause of my raceIve heard no too many timesBut with every noI grow in strenghtThat is whyAfrican-american womanI stand tall with prideYou want to know what it takesTo rid yourself of me nowTheres nothing you can doAccept me for who I am nowChorusChuck ds rap:Time to step it up, step it upBetter check yourselfI get vexed to protect what we gotLeft her aloneLookin for your ownHere it is I know what Im sayinBut the klan aint playin at the rangeGotta step it up us to discuss a mustIt aint nothin but an us thangRewind back to the timeWhere the color of our motherHad em call it a crimeBrother what in the world?And the world says where is the black manSupport the woman and childrenTime to step it up, step it up, its playoff timeAnd the rhyme go to check, so check yourselfAmenA new agendas dueChorus (2x)
